Orrong Road Residence in Victoria, Australia by b.e architecture

Thursday, April 21st, 2022

Article source: b.e architecture

Our interests were piqued when a client approached our practice wanting to explore the potential for how a 120m2, 1960s mid-century apartment could be reworked to support their current aesthetic, serving as an inner city alternative to their previous substantial family home.

This renovation of an 80 year old modernist apartment was for a couple who believed that with the right design they could replace their beautifully appointed family residence with a lifestyle less reliant on cars in an area walking distance to work, having a smaller carbon footprint. Their brief called for a feeling of spaciousness and uncompromised quality.

Elwood Residence in Victoria, Australia by b.e architecture

Monday, April 18th, 2022

Article source: b.e architecture

Our Ruskin Street Residence was designed for one of the now adult children of one of our earliest residential commissions over twenty-five years ago.

While smaller than our usual projects it is a very special outcome that is very representative of the sentiments behind many of our projects.

The front six rooms of the Edwardian heritage listed terrace was retained and extensively renovated to a new house standard. Rooms were reorganised to accommodate three bedrooms with bathrooms and robes, the existing details modified to accolade the new layouts as if they had always been there.

Panopticon House in Victoria, Australia by Bild Architecture

Friday, November 22nd, 2019

Article source: Bild Architecture

The Panopticon House project is a hybrid of modernist and classical rural villa ideals, exploring the house as figured object versus the disappearing enclosure. Located in rural Victoria, on a prominent hilltop with panoramic views across the surrounding landscape, the Great Southern Ocean, Bass Strait and the Tasman Ocean. The site and program recall the classical villa however a key element of the client brief was to minimize interruption to the views of the surrounding landscape. The house was in effect to become a device for seeing out – a ‘Panopticon’, whose primary function was that of observation.

Jeremy Bentham’s original 18th century Panopticon has been used as a model for a wide range of institutional buildings, including the reading room of the Victorian State library. However, was latter criticized by Michel Foucault and others as mechanism for manifesting and reinforcing power imbalances. In the context however, the relationship between the observer/observed, is that between architecture/landscape, emphasizing the potential of architecture as a device for seeing. This desire recalls the Farnsworth house, itself arguably a continuation of the classical villa tradition – however with the critical departure of the introduction of the ‘free plan’ into the villa type and the ambition of dissolving the relationship between interiority and exteriority. Located on the highest point on the site, the Panopticon House adopts these strategies, elongating and folding the free plan back on itself to provide panoramic views in all directions, while capturing a central courtyard providing shelter from prevailing winds on the exposed site.

Albert Park extension in Victoria, Australia by Modscape

Friday, October 18th, 2019

Article source: Modscape 

Inspired by our client’s brief for a minimalist, tranquil residence hidden away from the surrounding city, Modscape worked with the existing structure and added a new extension that would increase the amount of natural light and fresh air entering the house and provide an open living area with an intimate master retreat above.

Before work began, this Victorian‐era house in Albert Park, Victoria, had closed‐off, compartmentalized rooms with a tacked on, lean‐to extension resulting in a lack of light, ventilation and outdoor connection. Modscape set about transforming it into a lightfilled, airy space with generous proportions.

Residence J&C in Victoria, Australia by Open Studio Pty Ltd Architecture

Thursday, June 20th, 2019

Article source: Open Studio Pty Ltd Architecture

The clients’ brief was clear and simple: a semi-permanent residence – something more than a weekender – for a couple, their dog and sporadic visitors. The site, located in Somers and virtually on the beach, offers panoramic views across Western Port Bay. Somers is a small beachside town established in the 1920s, stretching from the Coolart Wetlands to the Cerberus Naval Base on the Mornington Peninsula. Although just one hour’s drive from Melbourne, the area is still a relatively low key holiday place, characterised by elevated modernist fibro houses, unfenced gardens and native bushland vegetation.

Modernist Wonderland in Victoria, Australia by WOWOWA Architecture & Interiors

Wednesday, May 22nd, 2019

Article source: WOWOWA Architecture & Interiors

Modernist Wonderland is a refurb to a yellow brick 60’s double storey gem for a Greek-Australian family – opa!!!!! It’s a colourful celebration and opening of the existing space, playful adaptation of original materials and embellishment of an optimistic era. Small spaces we decompartmentalised to create a space big enough for 80-person Christmas festivities. The large curved island bench was a nod to the families love of lamb cutlets and it seemed appropriate to couple with a brass bar element.

Brace House in Victoria, Australia by Finnis Architects

Thursday, April 25th, 2019

Article source: Finnis Architects

The Brace house was a process of retaining and celebrating the existing architectural language of a double fronted Victorian terrace whilst transforming the remainder of the dwelling into an adaptable, contemporary, modern family home.

Located in the significant heritage precinct area of Albert Park, meant that it was crucial not to denounce but rather celebrate the classic Victorian terrace home. The opportunity to design a home with two different architectural styles working harmoniously, while staying individually dignified was paramount.
